Well, this _is_ professional ball. If we have someone who can perform better (Mack), he's earned the minutes.
That's what I said when guys wanted to give the starting job to Schröder and that's still the way I feel. No one gets a starting job handed to him.
There are extremes to that though. Teague has played ranging from bad to OKAY in the last EIGHT games. You don't bench the clear starter who has given you 2 really good months of ball because he has been okay over the last 7 games.
He has gone 2/6 (with one turnover)
16/2(with 2 turnovers)
20/5(with FIVE turnovers)
7/4(with one turnovers)
15/6(with 3 turnovers)
16/5(with SEVEN! turnovers)
16/6(with 4 turnovers)
14/7(with 5 turnovers)
He hasn't shot well at all, but he has gotten to the line and shot well. His slump isn't even THAT bad, he just needs to cut down on the turnovers and stop settling for the 3(take away the three attempts and he is shooting a decent percentage).
I kinda just feel like a 7 game slump isn't enough to bench a guy.
